The Houston Police Department (HPD) has charged Kevin Faux, 24, with the murder of Ashtani Allen, a 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant. Allen's remains were discovered Thursday at Chimney Rock Park in southwest Houston, according to HPD. Investigators confirmed Faux is the father of Allen's unborn child.
Allen, who had a high-risk pregnancy, was last seen on April 8 in the 8700 block of Main Street. Her family confirmed her identity after authorities found the body. Allen's father, Edward Allen, described her as a community college graduate working at a hospital and preparing for the birth of her child. He expressed disbelief and grief, stating he believes his daughter was kidnapped before her death.
HPD is urging anyone with information about Faux's whereabouts to contact HPD Homicide at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. No arrests had been reported as of Thursday afternoon.
